Things to do in Snagov Monastery
Snagov Monastery mixes vibrant frescoed halls and Orthodox traditions.
Nestled on an islet amidst the placid waters of Lake Snagov, this 15th-century chapel is a sanctuary shrouded in mystery and eye-catching nature. A bastion for Romanian history and heritage, the monastery’s time-honoured walls are adorned with intricate frescoes and paintings depicting Christian traditions. The mystical atmosphere is palpable. It’s even believed to be the final resting place of Dracula – the enigmatic Vlad the Impaler, rumoured to be entombed here. As you cross the slender bridge you’ll be welcomed by shade-giving willows and the sound of the lake’s waters hitting the island’s shores.
